Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
« Ganga na mongongo makasi, kotika te! Matisa mongongo na yo lokola kelelo, yebisa bato na Ngai botomboki na bango, mpe lakisa libota ya Jakobi masumu na ye.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness and forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous ordinances, they delight to draw near unto God.
Pamba te mokolo na mokolo, balukaka Ngai, basalaka lokola bato bazali na esengo ya koyeba nzela na Ngai, lokola ekolo oyo esalaka makambo ya sembo mpe esundolaka te mibeko ya Nzambe na bango; basengaka Ngai mikano ya sembo, mpe basalaka lokola bato bazali na esengo ya kozala pene ya Nzambe;
3 Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find [your own] pleasure, and exact all your labours.
balobaka: ‹ Mpo na nini tokila bilei, soki ozali komona na Yo yango te? Mpo na nini tomikitisa, soki ozali koyeba na yo yango te? › Nzokande, na mokolo na bino ya kokila bilei, bozali kosala makambo oyo bolingi mpe bozali konyokola basali na bino nyonso.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
Kokila bilei na bino ezali kosuka na koswana mpe na bitumba, bozali kobetana makofi na kanda nyonso; bozali kokila bilei te ndenge esengeli kozala na mokolo oyo bozali kozela ete mongongo na bino eyokana na likolo.
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Boni, ezali penza kokila bilei oyo Ngai nalingaka, mokolo oyo moto amikitisaka penza ye moko? Boni, ezali kaka kogumba moto lokola nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi, kolata bilamba ya saki mpe kolala na putulu? Ezali yango nde bino bozali kobenga kokila bilei, mokolo oyo Yawe alingaka?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Tala lolenge ya kokila bilei oyo Ngai nalingaka: kokata minyololo ya masumu, kofungola basinga ya ekangiseli, kopesa bonsomi na mowumbu mpe kobuka ekangiseli nyonso.
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Boni, ezali te kokabola bilei na yo na moto oyo azali na nzala? Ezali te koyamba kati na ndako na yo, mobola oyo azali koyengayenga? Ezali te kolatisa moto oyo azali bolumbu mpe koboya kopesa mokongo na ndeko na yo?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.
Bongo, pole na yo ekongenga lokola moyi ya tongo, mpe nzoto na yo ekokoma kolongono na lombangu; bosembo na yo ekotambola liboso na yo mpe nkembo na Yawe ekokengela yo na sima.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
Boye, tango okobelela Yawe, akoyanola yo; tango okosenga lisungi, akoloba: ‹ Ngai oyo. › Soki kati na yo, olongoli ekangiseli, otiki kolakisa bato mosapi mpe otiki maloba mabe;
10 and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday:
soki opesi bilei na yo epai na ye oyo azali na nzala mpe okokisi posa ya moto oyo bazali konyokola, pole na yo ekongenga kati na molili, mpe molili na yo ekokoma lokola moyi ya ngonga midi.
11 and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Yawe akotambolisa yo tango nyonso, akokokisa baposa na yo kati na mokili ekawuka mpe akokembisa mikuwa na yo. Okozala lokola elanga oyo basopeli mayi, lokola liziba oyo mayi na yango ekawukaka te.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Mpo na yo, bakotonga lisusu bandako oyo ebukana-bukana na kala, bakomatisa lisusu miboko oyo ebukana wuta kala; bakobenga yo: ‹ Mobongisi ya bamir oyo ebukana mpe ya banzela oyo bato balekaka. ›
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, [and] the holy of the LORD honourable; and shalt honour it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:
Soki obateli matambe na yo ete ebebisa te lokumu ya mokolo ya Saba, mpe ete osala te mosala oyo yo olingi na mokolo na Ngai ya bule; soki mokolo ya Saba ekomi esengo na yo mpe opesi lokumu na mokolo ya bule ya Yawe; soki opesi yango lokumu na koboya kolanda nzela na yo moko, kosala misala na yo moko mpe kokoba na makambo oyo ezanga tina,
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
wana okozwa esengo na yo kati na Yawe mpe nakomema yo na bisika ya likolo ya mokili, nakoleisa yo wuta na libula ya Jakobi, tata na yo, » elobi Yawe.
